To fix the issue where you have to click the hamburger button twice to open the menu again after clicking on the "About Us" link, you can follow these steps:

Inspect the elements: Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the elements and check their CSS properties and classes. This will help you understand how the menu is implemented and identify any conflicting styles or JavaScript events.
Check the menu trigger: Confirm that the hamburger button triggers the opening and closing of the menu. Make sure that the proper class or JavaScript function is assigned to the button, and that it is not overwritten or conflicting with other code.
Verify the "About Us" link behavior: Explore the code or interactions related to the "About Us" link. Check if there are any custom interactions or JavaScript functions that prevent the menu from reopening on subsequent clicks. Look for functions or scripts that toggle the menu class or state.
Adjust the interaction settings: If you're using Webflow's built-in interactions, check the interaction settings for the menu and the "About Us" link. Make sure the interaction settings are configured correctly, allowing the menu to reopen after clicking the "About Us" link.
Debug JavaScript code: If you have custom JavaScript code controlling the menu behavior, review the code for any conflicting or overriding instructions. Use console.log statements or breakpoints to track the flow and identify any issues.
Duplicate and test: Create a duplicate of the affected menu and interaction, then test it separately to isolate and identify the specific issue. This will help you narrow down the problem and find a solution without affecting the live website.
Ask for support: If you have tried all the steps above and still can't resolve the issue, reach out to the Webflow community or support team. Provide them with detailed information about your setup, including the elements involved, the interactions applied, and any custom code you have implemented.

Remember to save your work before making any changes to your website, and test the menu on different devices and browsers to ensure the issue is fully resolved.
